Touring for Thirteenth Step

Touring in support of the album started in the U.S. in July 2003, and ran through the end of the year, with a brief European leg of the tour extending out to Europe with the Deftones in September. Lohner, who could not commit to touring on a full-time permanent basis, was replaced by former The Smashing Pumpkins guitarist James Iha . In January 2004, the group left the country to play shows in Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. They headed back to the U.S. in March and wrapped up touring in June, totaling to about a year straight of touring. Meanwhile, three singles were released from the album: ” Weak and Powerless “, ” The Outsider ” and ” Blue “. “Weak and Powerless” managed to top the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks and Mainstream Rock Songs , while “The Outsider” later peaked in the top 5 of both as well. “Weak and Powerless” and “The Outsider” were also the band’s only songs to have substantial cross-over success, charting on the Billboard Hot 100 all-format chart, at 61 and 79 respectively.
